Beautiful property. Minimal problems. Only 4 rolls of toilet paper for 5 day family stay kind of had a little negative impact. Did get a bunch of ants in our food but we should have closed it better. Water was good but not the cleanest. Overall a very nice stay with comfy beds and beautiful views

Excellent destination for guests who like to actually spend some time at the property....canoeing, kayaking, hot tub, or lounging on the screened porch. Lovely hangout! Our boys were hoping to catch some fish in the creek, but because it's seasonal it's not the destination for anyone counting on catching fish...but there are plenty of fishing spots nearby. Property is within 5 minutes of Wimberley square, Blue Hole, and Jacob's well! House is well stocked and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great property. The swimming was great on Lone Man Creek. The concrete patio on the water was great access. The bottom of the creek near the patio was solid river rock bed. Almost like someone swept the mud and muck away, which was fantastic. The house was great especially the view of the creek and limestone canyons. 5 acres of property with vast amounts of shade provided the privacy me and my young family require. We went here because we love going to Wimberley Blue Hole, AKA, the greatest fresh water swimming hole in Texas. My only problem with the place is I couldn’t rent another night because it was already booked!

Thank you so much for such an amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled that you and your family enjoyed swimming in Lone Man Creek, the easy water access, and the beautiful limestone canyon views. It sounds like you really took advantage of the privacy and shade the 5 acres provide, which is exactly what makes the property so special for families. We especially love hearing that you enjoyed the creek’s natural river rock bed and the concrete patio, it’s wonderful to know those details made your stay even better. And we completely understand your one complaint about not being able to add another night! Hopefully next time you’ll be able to book that extra night before someone else does. We’d love to welcome you and your family back!

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house and its location. We totally understand the disappointment about the river and the firepit, burn bans are something we cannot control, unfortunately.
